I'm happy with it, so far. But I'm not hard to please, bed-wise. The quilt was made by my sister-in-law, Valerie, and is really beautiful. She made it to celebrate my love of my cats. It's actually one of my favorite gifts I've ever been given. It's very cute when one (or both) of the cats naps on it. They often lay down right on one of the cat silhouettes, like they think, "Oh...cat goes here."<br /><br />Anyway, the bed is a Serta...and I know my pillow placement sucks. It's my first big-boy bed.

Whether you've already got a love for the low end, or you're looking to learn more, we've built a fun and bananas list that's sure to keep your toe tapping!

This one's very different. I talk a lot about an old college friend who passed away this week and also about why a celebrity death can hit us hard, why art matters, and so on. (And yes, I briefly pay tribute to Matthew Perry, Richard Moll, and Suzanne Somers, too.) It gets a little raw in places. But I listened back to it and thought maybe it'd be worth hearing for some people.</p>
<p>If you skip this one, I get it. But it might help somebody to at least know we're all asking the same questions.</p><iframe title="Ramblings on Loss and Art" allowtransparency="true" height="150" width="80%" style="border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);height:150px;" scrolling="no" data-name="pb-iframe-player" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=rcgkb-14eafab-pb&from=pb6admin&share=1&download=1&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=1&font-color=auto&logo_link=episode_page&btn-skin=7" loading="lazy"></iframe>

All I know is the Cloudburst is the best reverb I've ever played, and it was an instant add to the board. So I wanted to feature it a little bit. I didn't even TALK about the Pre-Delay knob! Or Decay. Or that you can run it in stereo if you want to. Or plug it into your laptop or phone and download presets and fine tune it. Or plug in an expression pedal. Etc.

Y'know one of my favorite random Ringo things is that when he announced that he wasn't going to be autographing things that are mailed to him anymore, he said, "Peace and love, peace and love... I'm WARNING YOU with peace and love..." I just adore the balance of that.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4YhyphenhyphenDBnqFaSlVi4K1Vj-Y6YklGnCZjpD8c7-JoKdm5m2O41mz8VzSqsbjicR6wd-HurX_50s5YUZldhWXxJ6tOA4IJ3w7LIUjFXOswA1vOooU7Ui9mlKBPGlm1p3FJRfDkXNiltXIk_qAjq6hh1JtYRbPtkSwDpe-6xDEkHV-NyPVy-lHnasNAJlGa1R2/s2691/20231003_214207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2691" data-original-width="2691" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4YhyphenhyphenDBnqFaSlVi4K1Vj-Y6YklGnCZjpD8c7-JoKdm5m2O41mz8VzSqsbjicR6wd-HurX_50s5YUZldhWXxJ6tOA4IJ3w7LIUjFXOswA1vOooU7Ui9mlKBPGlm1p3FJRfDkXNiltXIk_qAjq6hh1JtYRbPtkSwDpe-6xDEkHV-NyPVy-lHnasNAJlGa1R2/s320/20231003_214207.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is, so far, the extent of my Psychedelic Furs collection.

This one is a fun talk about our Fab 15 Most Overplayed songs. If you're wondering what's so fab about an overplayed song, listen to the show! We tell you! And then we have a bunch of fun talking about it and comparing notes. We didn't match a lot, so the final list was really all over the place, and it's a blast! That said, please keep reading after the player, below.</p><p>Companion Blog: <a href="http://emptychecking.blogspot.com">http://emptychecking.blogspot.com</a> <br />Email: <a href="mailto:db@derekbrink.com">db@derekbrink.com</a><br />Mondaves: <a href="http://davidbrink.home.blog/">http://davidbrink.home.blog</a><br />Papa Dave's Fab 15 Spotify Playlists: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/317eypfciiajkyay2kxloz3kreoa?si=f046115ad0514079">https://open.spotify.com/user/317eypfciiajkyay2kxloz3kreoa?si=f046115ad0514079</a></p><iframe allowtransparency="true" data-name="pb-iframe-player" height="150" loading="lazy" scrolling="no" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=xhnyt-149a74e-pb&from=pb6admin&share=1&download=1&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=1&font-color=auto&logo_link=episode_page&btn-skin=7" style="border: none; height: 150px; min-width: min(100%, 430px);" title="Episode 163 - The FAB 15 Most Overplayed Songs" width="80%"></iframe><p>This episode has a cloud over it. We recorded it on 8/31/23. Two days later, it was announced that Jimmy Buffett had passed away. Two days after that, Smash Mouth's Steve Harwell passed away as well. Both men are referenced in this episode, to different degrees. We didn't say anything that was overly disrespectful, but obviously if we had known what was coming, our tone on both would've been very different. We send our best wishes and deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and fans of both Mr. Buffett and Mr. Harwell.</p><p>Given the above, we wanted to hurry up and get this show online as soon as we could. With that in mind, there are not any significant photos or so-on for this episode. Even if we had that stuff ready to go, we thought a simple, non-flashy logo would be more appropriate this week. Thank you for your understanding.</p><p>Time Index:</p><p>

Sorry... But I talk about a lot of stuff! I bid farewell to Terry Funk, Bray Wyatt, Bob Barker, and Arleen Sorkin. Then I talk about music from Old 97s, Beth Bombara, Mammoth WVH, Extreme, and Gord Downie/Bob Rock. And I close out talking about the Venture Bros, Asteroid City, and by giving my two-cents on the unfortunate comments made by Alice Cooper. There's a lot going on in this one, and it's MOSTLY fun!

Please excuse anything that seems slightly off-time for whatever week it actually is now.</p>
<p>In this episode, I talk about one of my basses that I've had for 30 years, then about music stuff related to Neil Young, The Band, and Bob Dylan, then about I Love Lucy. Super current subjects in this episode! :) But it's fun. I liked listening to it during editing, and I don't like the sound of my own voice. So that tells you something.

Then I talk about the new seasons of Futurama and Good Omens. And we close out with a review of the Paramore show (with Foals and The Linda Lindas) that I saw this past weekend. That and other stuff. It's a fun episode that covers a lot of ground.</p>
